MP3: The Honeydrips - Ah Karolin
Returning to work on Monday after taking an extended 4-day weekend means it's time to play catch-up once again. To help with the transition, I'm letting Simon Tagestam handle today's mp3 post:
The Honeydrips' song production has been, to put it mildly, sporadic. Their one and only band member Mikael Carlsson is also part of Dorotea, who have at least released an album, along with some EPs. So far The Honeydrips have sung entirely in English, but this song (that can be found on their website) is in their native language (Swedish, that is). The Honeydrips have done some other great songs too, "The trouble with the Neo-Nazis" being a personal favourite, but "Ah Karolin" sounds so different from anything else that's on offer at the moment that I can't stop listening to it. It reminds me a bit of Monica Zetterlund or some other songs that take me back to my childhood. I guess it's not, but it really comes across as a cover of some nugget from the 70s. It's a super cosy song.
UPDATE: read the comments for more about this song and where it's from.
